Sourdough Challah, Charred Broccolini, Romesco & More
|
Friends, hello! Yesterday a dear old friend arrived on the train from NYC with a dozen bagels and three tubs of cream cheese. It was lunchtime, and we went to town, slicing and smearing and topping them with what feels like the last tomatoes of the season. For dinner, we had pizza topped with blistered sungolds aside charred broccolini over Romesco, made with a mix of peppers and cherry tomatoes. This is a terrible photo, but it was delicious: All of this is to say that the tomatoes (and the peppers! and the eggplant!) are still arriving, and while it feels as though we should be roasting squash and curling up to bowls of soup, maybe we should still be making jars of sauce and buckets of ratatouille? Below I've compiled a list of 8 tomato recipes to make before they disappear for good. Also: earlier this week someone emailed me asking if I had ever made a sourdough version of my friend Holly's challah recipe. I hadn't, but I had ripe starter on my counter and decided to give it a go, subbing in 200 grams of the starter for the sponge the recipe calls for making. It turned out decently well, but it was too sour, and the kids said something like: "It's good but different," which really says it all. But stay tuned, with a little tweaking I think it could be very good. Have a great π π -filled weekend, Everyone!

Hi. I'm Ali.

A few weeks ago, while checking out at the grocery store, I impulsively purchased a holiday-bread themed magazine. What caught my attention was a homemade "take-and-bake" roll recipe. It called for baking the rolls at a very low temperature, 300ΒΊF, just until the rolls reached an internal temperature of 175ΒΊF; then cooling and freezing. When you were ready to bake, you simply popped that pan in the oven. As one of the most frequently asked questions I receive this time of year is "How can I...
You're making your pie dough! Go on, grab your butter. I'll wait for you. We're doing it together. Right now. I promise you it's easy. And it will feel so good tucking these rounds into your freezer, and crossing off that to-do! Foolproof Pie Dough Correction! Last week, I shared a recipe and method for making a double batch of the peasant bread. Many of you noticed that the flour amount was wrong: it should be 8 cups of flour (I had written 4). The updated recipe/method can be found here: 2x...
I bought my turkeys! And made my bread for the stuffing! And stashed them both in the freezer. Friends, I never do these sorts of things, but I've decided: This is the year. This is the year we are going to be so organized that when Thanksgiving morning arrives, we're going to be bored β we're going to be sitting around with our crosswords, twiddling our thumbs, sipping our punch, wondering what else we could do: meal prep for the following week? Well, we can dream anyway. Last week, I shared...
